BoD Daily Update

Samoa Joe Update
Joe was reportedly telling people at an Independent show in Queens this past Friday that he will be headed to the WWE in a few weeks.

Amid rumors that GFW would be taping shows in Las Vegas, the company released a teaser video on YouTube hyping they would be there in the Summer and Jeff Jarrett himself tweeted that they would in fact be there but did not specify what they would be doing. You can click on the link below to view the teaser trailer and the tweet.

Imagine Cesaro with a 6-8 month run as US/IC champ after Mania last year. Eventually he drops the belt and Heyman was busy with Brock so he finally explodes. Could be a great match and angle. Not sure if Cesaro can be a #1 guy but the build was available

You mean you'd rather your two stars have a pull-apart with refs rather than a tug of war? You mean a brawl at the end would have been better than playing 2nd grade recess games or games during company outings?

Could it have been done? Of course. But just because it COULD be done doesn't mean Vince would've done it. He doesn't "get" Cesaro. Therefore Cesaro isn't going to headline WrestleMania or become WWE champ.

See, that's the problem. I have no idea what closes the show, because I don't see Sting standing tall to end it, Cena is anti-climactic as fuck, but do you have your new babyface champion getting Batista'd as you go off the air?

They've tried to hard with Reigns to end WM like that, for me if they were smart they'd have Brock pulp him so he gets some respect when he wins but it also wouldn't surprise me that Brock gets the duke. The Rollins stuff is the one thing I don't think they'll do

I wasn't watching too intently, but Raw was okay overall. The end with Lesnar and Reigns grabbing at the belt was really dumb only overshadowed by the 6 wrestlers climbing the ladder and throwing each other off when there was no match.

Even two of the "best" long-haired champs: Shawn and Bret had some hair issues. Shawn lost a good amount of hair on the front from Bret pulling it out (or it just receding, take your pick) and Bret's hair was just gross with the Exxon Valdez oil slick in it.

Going to a Wrestlemania is always worth it as far as spectacle, but this year's version is shaping up to be one of the worst so I wouldn't spend a ton on the ticket(s). Fan Axxess is more fun IMO though.

Diesel was the shits, and HBK wasn't much better in 1996. I don't recall the Undertaker doing great business in 1997; he was overshadowed for much of his reign by the Hart Foundation. Triple H had some dog years as WHC.

That is so strange. Why not HBK, Hunter, Hall, Austin, Hogan, or some ring rat? Did Foley and Nash ever wrestle each other? I guess there's some odd Vinnie Vegas vs. Cactus Jack match out there somewhere, but...okay. It really should be Reigns inducting him with Nash passing the worst drawing WWE champ of all time title on to Roman.

Valid point, which is why I said they're kind of in a corner here. You generally don't end WM with a heel standing tall, but you also don't have any faces to end WM standing tall that will get the right reaction, a big enough reaction or won't be anti-climactic.

Nope and Nash has done about a zillion podcasts and shoots over the years and I can't remember him once mentioning Foley either. Maybe they can talk about how frugal they are with their money because they're among the only wrestlers I know of that have never had financial issues post wrestling.

Oh God if there was footage of Hogan running into Bret backstage at Mania with him calling him Stu followed by Bret saying Stu was his dad and Hogan responding, "Sorry, Owen" and walking off, that might be the funniest thing ever.

In two years time it will be 100,000 fans, including the Rolling Stones and the Pope at ringside to see their records get broken. Paul McCartney sent a text congratulating him and he and Andre did a podcast with Roddy Piper afterwards that was aired on YouTube. The next day Hogan and Andre broke Google and it took them another 8 years to get the internet back up and working again.

I used to mark out when a babyface like Magnum TA would drop Ric Flair in some sort of confrontation, grab the NWA belt and either stare at it or hold it up before dropping it back on the champ. That works because it makes the title seem important, but also the babyface wants to win the belt not take it.
